Scope and ContentModel train layout plan: Union Connecting Railroad. New York Society of Model Engineers, Inc., Lackawanna Terminal, Hoboken, N.J. Ferry Concourse. January 1949. Single printed leaf, 11" high x 17" wide, printed one side only; folded as received. PDF on file. This group of model railroaders had been using space in the upper level ferry concourse at the terminal since 1948 as a guest of the Lackawanna Railroad. The plan here was for the development of the Union Connecting Railroad (U.C.R.R. - not a real railroad) layout designed by them and under construction in Hoboken. The sheet has a table at the lower that includes a "Feb. 1949 Temp. Layout" along with "Ultimate Railroad Layout" and "Ultimate Trolley and Interurban." For the period and into the mid-1950s, it was the largest model railroad layout in the world. Dimensions on the sheet indicate 90 feet long by 35 feet wide.
